HELLO!! I am a musician from Bristol UK who likes to sing, play keys and sax and I am lucky enough work with lots of lovely like-minded people. Hope you like the tracks from my first album and the other tracks I have put up.

I've toured and recorded with that there band Morcheeba , and now as well as doing my own material I'm playing with . . . . .

ILYA - this genre-defying band morphs at will from burlesque to glam rock to slapped-out-mermaid-blues - and that's just on one tune- lovely stuff!

THE FORSTER-HAMMOND TRIO..... - we do the Hammond organ thang - yes, i do play the hammond organ, yes my name is Ruth Hammond . . . .
